Trevor Deely
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trevor Deely (born 1978) is an Irish missing person. He was last known to be seen on the morning of 8 December 2000 on a wet and windy night in the Haddington Road area of Dublin 4. He was filmed on CCTV as crossing Baggot Street Bridge at 4.14am, making his way home after attending an office Christmas party during a taxi strike.[1]
Deely was a Bank of Ireland employee who had moved from the family home in Naas, County Kildare and lived in a shared apartment in Serpentine Avenue, Ballsbridge. He remained in regular contact with his family.[2]
After his disappearance, the Garda Síochána mounted a large search effort, which included draining a stretch of the Grand Canal between Leeson Street and the Grand Canal Basin at Ringsend on two occasions. Fearing that he may have drowned, Garda sub-aqua divers also searched the River Dodder, which had been flooded at the time of his disappearance.[3]
His family mounted a massive advertising campaign, unequalled until the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Every lamp post and traffic light in Dublin, Holyhead and other ports was plastered with posters of him[4]. They still keep up hope that he is alive, and although there is a service for Deely every year in a Naas church, they do not call it a memorial service.
Deely is 6 feet 2 inches tall, with red hair and green eyes.[5] Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is encouraged to contact Irishtown Garda station.
